The search term you're looking for is "NIC bonding". Here's the first hit I get from Google:
Hi,
I tried

without success
I have a feeling that bonding is for interfaces on the same network, not two internet routers. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I think you need policy routing:
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/8/htm...
https://doc.lagout.org/network/inetdoc/Policy_Routing_in_Linux_ENG.pdf
Although it may be tempting to use some sort of round-robin, it would be safer to have specific rules based on the destination, so for example you send all web traffic to one ISP and add exceptions to route specific traffic to the second ISP (e.g. streaming platforms), with each rule having a "backup route" to the other ISP.
Cheers, Lorenzo
